Let’s delve into some awesome DIY Christmas gift-wrapping ideas, making this festive season truly special!
1. Sprig Of Holly
One of the Christmas gift wrapping ideas is to wrap your Christmas gift in brown craft paper with a ‘Sprig Of Holly’! ‘Sprig of Holly’ is a small plant extensively used during the Christmas season. It exhibits celebration, joy, good luck, auspiciousness, resilience and strength adding the spirit of celebration during Christmas.

2. The Reindeer
Another way of decorating your gift is to wrap your Christmas present with twinkling stars on it. Once done, stick a funny cut-out of a reindeer in white and red, which is very significant to the festival of Christmas. Reindeer is very traditional to the customs associated with the Christmas season. You will often find reindeer in Christmas songs, carols, fables as well as movies. This is because reindeer symbolises joy, hope, magic and goodwill. So, why not use reindeer while decorating your Christmas gifts and presents?

Stick the rustic pine cones and a few Christmas leaves along with the thread or the ribbon tied to the wrapping paper, adding a festive touch to your Christmas gift.
5. The Candy Cane And Berries
If the ‘red’ wrapping paper is not enough to infuse the spirit of Christmas, then adorn your gift wrapping paper with various bright crafts like candy cane and berries.
